Cameroon: Louis Paul Motaze orders blocking of non-cleared devices

On June 4, 2026, Cameroon's Finance Minister Louis Paul Motaze ordered the CEOs of MTN Cameroon and Orange Cameroon to disconnect terminals and digital tablets that were fraudulently imported without customs clearance since April 1, 2026. This measure aims to strengthen import controls and combat customs fraud. Affected devices will lose access to local networks, potentially impacting their use by consumers.
